While the water crisis is a human issue, it is unquestionably a women’s issue. Globally, girls and women spend an estimated 200 million hours every day collecting water. 200 million hours that, with access to clean water, could instead be invested in education, personal growth, and opportunities for a more promising future. Clean water also means better health, as it reduces exposure to waterborne diseases. It would provide women and girls with reliable access to water for sanitation and hygiene services, supporting their health needs related to menstrual hygiene, pregnancy, and postpartum care.

Access to clean water unlocks limitless possibilities — for everyone, but especially for women and girls. Help Green Valley Smiles Dentistry 495 fund clean water projects and turn hope for the future into a lived reality.
